The Jewish Book of Why: The Torah
The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, is the moral guide of the Jewish people and the centerpiece of its religious life. Following the “why” format he introduced in The Jewish Book of Why, in this volume Rabbi Alfred J. Kolatch addresses hundreds of questions about the Torah rites and rituals that are followed today. He also traces the origins of the Torah and explains the different methods of interpretation and analysis that are used in its study.
